HARRIS , Notary Public for Oregon By Commission Expires: Novembef 17, 1956. Levy On Property Aiked By Governor Patterson (Continued from Page 0e) with authority to give degrees. He made these tax recommends tions: 1. Levy a state property tax for the first time since 1940. This could raise a total of $30,000,000 in the two-year budget period be ginning next July 1. . z. Remove the federal income tax exemption in figuring state in come taxes. This would raise an other $30,000,000. 3. bubmlt to the people a oro- posea Dona issue to carry out much of the building program for col leges and state institutions. These bonds would be paid off by addi tional property taxes - The deficit, including the $18,860.- 077 building program, totals $63,- 870,077 for the next two-year budget period. The state would have plenty of money for this pe- riuu uy accepting inuse recom mendations. , Pointing out that the' voters have rejected a sales tax five times, Gov. Patterson declared Oregon shouldn't have that type of tax un less the people themselves initiate - ' ' ::. -, He said he has cut his budget requests to the bone, and that ths Legislature must raise new: rev enue instead of making further cuts. While recommending those steps, the governor asked the legislators to give serious study" to two oth er proposals which he said have merit. These would extend the excise tax on corporations to other types of business, and would boost state income tax rates. Stepping into another area of controversy, Gov. Patterson asked that unemployment compensation benefits be increased; that payroll taxes oe increased on those em ployers who contribute most heav ily to unemployment; and that coverage be extended to employers or (ewer tnan tour persons. Oregon s jobless benefits, which are a maximum of $25 a week for 26 weeks during any one year, fall tar snort of the original intention that benefits should amount to half of the weekly wage, he said. increase payroll taxes, he de clared, are needed to save the shrinking unemployment trust fund from being depleted. uov. Patterson rejected the High way Commission's request for a two-cent a gallon gasoline tax in crease to build new roads. But he did ask for an $11,000,000 bond is sue for roads. The Highway Commission has spent all of the $72,000,000 road bond money made available in the past five years. On the power question, the gov ernor asked the Legislature to send three memorials to the feder al government. One would ask the government either to build John Day Dam at once, or to decide to build it in partnership with public ann private agencies. The other memorials would ask the government to comnlete Chief Joseph, McNarv and The Dalles dams on schedule: and to build Is portion of the Cougar Dam on he reKenzie. and Green Peter Dam on the Santiam. The governir called for legisla tion to control the use of ground water, and to create a state water resources hoard In take over the duties of the various basin com missions. .-.- , He asked for enough money to let the Oreeon Development Com mission study taxation and freight rales as Ihey affect new industries which might come to Oregon. The governor renewed his re quest, originally made two years ito when' he first took office, (hat Eisenhower Asks Right To Reduce Tariffs (Continued from Pag One) Eisenhower said, still causes "un warranted, delays'! and hampers commerce despite passage of the custom - simplification act last year. 2. Private Investment abroad. He recommended a cut of 14 per centage points in the tax rate paid by corporations on income earned abroad, and asked Congress to de fer the tax on income of foreign branches until the funds are re moved from the country wnere earned; and to study the further use of tax treaties by recognizing tax concessions made to foreign capital by other countries. J. Technical tBoMratlon. He said this country should carry for ward its technical assistance pro grams, concerned with "know how rather than large funds." Eisen lrd favorable action on his request for technical aid funds in his budget message aue s:u; week. ; , , . -.-... 1 4. General Agreement en Tariffs ml Tnda. This country and 33 others are now reviewing the Gait agreement for lowering oftrade barriers, Eisenhower said, to sim plify its terms. When the proposed revisions are complete, he said, the results will be sent to Congress for aonroval. . 5. International Travel To en courage travel abroad by Amer icans, an important source of dol lar for many countries, Eisen hower asked Congress to increase the duty-free allowances for tour ists from $500 to $1,000. ' i. Trad fairs. Eisenhower said this country has embarked on a major program of particioation in international trade fairs. Until re cently, he said, this country has been "conspicuous by Its absence" at such industrial displays while the Soviet nations have entered costlv exhibits. He said he will ask funds for further participation in fairs. As to tariffs, the message fol lowed generally the broad lines of last year . The President declared Congress can "add immeasurably ' to the security and well - being of the United Sates and the rest of the free world" by giving him auth ority to: 1. Negotiate tariff reductions not exceeding 5 per cent annually for three years on selected products. 2. Cut any rates which exceed sn ner cent down to that level over the three-year period. S. Reduce by not more tnan one half, in three years, the tariffs on goods which are not now being Imported orwhich now are being 'mnorted "only in negligible quan tities. the state have a convention to write a new Constitution. He also asked that the three-man tax commission be replaced by a single tax commissioner, and that the Motor venicie ueparimeni ;ie placed under a separate adminis trator. The governor would appoint heads of both of these departments. The Motor Vehicle Department now is administered by the Secre tary of State. Under another proposal, Portland State Extension Center would be come a degree-granting Institution. As to the building program, Gov. Patterson asked- that Legislature to appropriate money for the most vital parts of it, and then submit a- bond issue to the people to get the rest of the money. He mentioned three protects in his message. These are the Stt.- 000.000 mental hospital In the Port land area; the reformatory near Salem, and a classroom building for Portland state. Gov. Patterson spoke at a joint session in the House chamber. Chief Justice Harold J. Warner ad ministered the oath of office. . . -r,n 1 -- II la nib V:- m: : 't-4 - &VI ' ' W 1 ' I 4 x..: - - , I .- -ill I i. ?u.au-i. j'... -- , , I'M TRIPLE AMPUTEE WEDS Downey, Calif , --Clover Kerr,' who lost both legs ond an arm in o train-auto accident in 1937, turns from the alter on the orm of her new husband, Merle Moloney, Roseburg, Ore., lumberman ond her neighbor, a few minutes after their marriage in a wedding chapel in Downey, Calif., Jan. 7.
